Abstract
Given two relatively prime positive integers and , we consider simple lattice paths (with unit East and unit North steps) from to , and enumerate them by their left and right bounces with respect to the line . We give the corresponding multivariate generating functions for all such paths as well as for subclasses of paths that start and end with a prescribed step. For illustration purposes, we discuss the case and express some of our functions in terms of the Fuss-Catalan generating function .
